Yes, but not a massive amount. I pay annually and it works out to about $7-8 a month for 50mbps of bandwidth and unlimited downloads. Then use *arr apps and sabnzbd to manage everything.

Why torrent when you can use newsgroups? No need to seed, just download and done. Haven’t torrented for 10 years.

One of the layers of heck, you are stuck in a car park full of people who are trying to reverse in, but can’t do it on the first try.

Reasons you ended up there:

You work at McDonalds and you didn’t get the drive-thru order right.

You left when it was your turn to buy a round at the bar.

You change lanes into a gap just big enough for your car, then brake.

It’s the middle of summer and it’s hot, but you won’t let people turn on the A/C.

There isn’t going to be a document written by either organisation that says “we did it.” Even if they did, it would’ve been a tight group that decided it had to happen and nothing would’ve been written down.

I remember the fear mongering of the Cold War, the ozone layer depleting, and the AIDS epidemic.

Times were simpler back then, but I don’t think they were necessarily better.

No, Jellyfin has a server backend which manages the media and serves it up to the client frontends which support most modern operating systems like Windows, Linux and Android. See https://jellyfin.org/ for details.

I’d ditch the HTPC, and go for an Android based media player like the Shield, no moving parts, no keyboard/mouse and rarely requires an update. Had a HTPC for many years and anytime I wanted to watch something I had to mess about with it first before it would play.

I was a long time Kodi user from back when it was called XBMC.

About 5 years ago I got tired of messing about with managing media, editing config files and installing addons. Moved to Emby first, and now I am on Jellyfin. No media management required, the backend server does it all for me and the front end is great, never gives me any problems and plays everything. I run the front end on multiple Nvidia Shields with no performance issues.

I’d manage your media better with movies and TV in separate parent folders and not all mixed together. When you setup Jellyfin, you point it at a folder and tell it what media type it is. Mixing up different media types in the same folder structure just makes things harder than they need to be for no gain.

Shit, I’ve thrown out stuff several generations newer than that because it was too old.

I wasnt acting like there was no risk, 1 nuke is too many, especially when a dictator has his finger on the button. Russia might have the highest quantity of nukes, but i’d be surprised if they had the most working nukes as the US stockpile isnt far off Russia’s.

Regardless, I wouldnt let the fact Russia is a nuclear capable nation deter us from doing what is right.

Where do you draw the line? If you are happy to give up Ukraine to avoid a nuclear war, where do you stop? Can he take all of Eastern Europe? What about the whole of Europe? Everywhere except your country?

Putin is a bully, and you stand up to bullies.

Besides, he might have the most nukes, but given the maintenance costs for 5,000+ of them and the corruption in Russia, most of them probably won’t work.

We can all throw shit at Reddit together.
